The Mobile Social Networking Phenomenon

It is no surprise that mobile social networks are beginning to become more and more popular. After all, mobile users constitute one of the biggest growth areas in the online market. According to Juniper Research, the number of active users of mobile social networking sites will rise from 54 million in 2008 to nearly 730 million in 2013 While mobile social networks have yet become as sophisticated as non-mobile powerhouses like Twitter and Facebook, there is no doubt that they will head that way. In fact, they are already able to address the unique needs and aspects of mobile users, such as the ability to quickly and easily share photos snapped with a smartphone or utilize the GPS capability of these mobile devices.
